What We Will Become

Nancy Chang, 7th Grade

Soft, what's that I hear?
Something ringing in my ear;
A plea, a cry for help,
Crying for your help I dare say,
For many others and I want a spot saved.

Not a seat in the movie theaters,
Nor a place in the lunch line.
It's something greater,
Something very valuable indeed.

We want a chance to go to college.
What we will become,
No one knows for sure.
But we sure will do some good.

A doctor,
An actor,
A pharmacist,An engineer,
A zookeeper.

All will fit
Together like puzzle pieces,
If only you save
A spot for us

Soft, what's that I hear?
Whooping and cheering
For people so dear,
And of graduation hats
Thrown into the air.
